Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage Process in the United States The subject of these pages - the marriage process - is comparatively new in this country. Down to the year 1884, marriage disputes, even those involving the validity of marriages already contracted, were, as a rule, decided, with us, by the bishop, or also by rectors of parishes, and sometimes even by assistant priests, without any judicial formalities whatever. This mode of procedure was naturally open to serious inconveniences, and was calculated to imperil, in many cases, the stability and indissolubility of marriages. To obviate these disadvantages, the S. C. de Prop. Fide, in 1884, issued the Instruction Causae Matrimoniales for this country. This Instruction or law substantially lays down and makes obligatory here, in matrimonial contentions involving the validity of a marriage contracted, the manner of proceeding which is prescribed by the general law of the Church and obtains throughout the entire Church. This mode of deciding marriage disputes is judicial, and is to be conducted by the bishop's court for marriage causes. In some respects the judicial formalities of the marriage process are the same as those of other ecclesiastical trials. But in no small number of points there are wide divergencies between the two. From the very nature of the subject-matter in dispute, the marriage trial has many peculiarities, and is frequently more intricate and complex than other ecclesiastical trials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Law Marriage, and Its Development, in the United States Again, the strictly legal aspects of marriage cover a wide area in the field of jurisprudence. Our present con cern, however, is only with the legal effect of informal or irregular marriages by the common law of England and the development of that law in the United States. Common law marriage may be defined as a marriage which does not depend for its validity upon any religious or civil ceremony but is created by the consent of the parties as any other contract. The term common law marriage, however, is not strictly an accurate one. Some writers on the subject prefer not to call it by that name, and some of those that do, make apologies for it.

Download or read book Marriage in the States Classic Reprint written by John Talbot Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage in the States This indifference of parents does not always remain quiescent. The more resolute oppose by secret or open means the approach of suitors for their girls. And employ the arts of persuasion and satire to delay the marriage of their sons. How cleverly this is done among the simple would surprise the experienced. Here is an illustration: the family had eight children of marriageable age, good examples of the irish-american stock, bright, alert, sociable. The mother, without a single utterance against the marriage state itself, and behind a cordial reception to suitors, man aged a campaign of satire and ridicule against the young men which secured for them a lively rejection of their matrimonial proposals; with the result that the four girls died early and unmarried, quite satisfied that they hadescaped the burdens of married life. 0f the four boys one married early, but could never bring his wife to meet his ntother; a second married after the mother's death and was then over fifty, for the determined old lady lived long; the other two remained bachelors. The extraordinary preva lence of these instances, and the various forms which they assume must be well known to pastors. A shrewd old father with a good working family, foreseeing his helpless old age, highly appreciative of a comfortable hrme, but deprived by death of his wife's aid, will play the game himself with success; or an 'der sister left in charge of the family will scheme against matrimonial invasion of her inheritance. My attention was at first attracted to this strange condition by the apparent failure of certain families in the third generation. For example, here would be a father and mother of Irish birth, whose brother; and sisters numbered perhaps a dozen, who had endured the hardships of emigra tion and of getting a footing in new lands with splendid strength, who presented the country with ten fine children, and who saw their old age honored with four grandchildren! This phenomenon should open the sleepiest eyr and yet it is as common as our daily bread. Four children in the third generation where there should have been forty. Examina tion showed many causes for this extraordinary failure, but in my experience the chief was the absence of marriages, or late marriages, among those children; and the source of the trouble was a jealous and foolish old woman, determined to keep her children at her side while she lived. And her old age was as garrulous against the married state as her middle age had been critical of suitors. A large family brought up in this hostile atmosphere, reduced to a comfortable and harmless routine, succumbs more easily to disease than an active marrying family. These determined old wore haveoften suffered the double punishment of seeing their chil dren perish before their time, while the marrying family next door multiplied on the earth and trooped back on occasions with companies of children to gladden the home of the grandparents. My children had every advantage, one old mother said me, and half of them are dead, and the other half look as old as mesclf. But the Cronins that lived on potatoes and buttermilk and got no training at all, at all, and married at the croas-roads - there's no end to them. It would be useless to tell her that she had culti vated carefully her own misfortunes, that the ma; ried state has been so blessed by the Creator that its duties and re sponsibilities develop strength, health, longevity, cheerful ness, resource, and that for most people it is the natural condition in the third decade.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Marriage Laws: In Their Social Aspects; A Digest Someone has remarked that the whole of social reform is implied in social case work - if it be thorough enough. This is an overstatement; social reform has many approaches, and we could ill afford to dispense with a single one of them. It does happen, however, that the plan of study to which the present Digest is merely preliminary grew out of social case work in one of the large family agencies of New York, and that this brief study illustrates, in a fashion, the relation between the social worker's attempt to find a way out for a few people in grievous trouble and human issues of wider significance. I have served for several years on the committee of a society for family social work to which have been referred its especially puzzling problems of individual welfare. In about three-fifths of all the cases so referred, the committee found that the core of the difficulty centered around marital maladjustments. (Their proportion in the whole work of the society, it should be added, would not be nearly so large.) These troubles of the Smiths, the Browns, and the Robinsons brought more forcibly to our attention than ever before certain ancient evils and certain proposed remedies. As a part of the general public, we had already noted the alarming increase in the number of divorces, but we had never fully realized before the close relation between divorce and our ill-devised, variously-administered marriage laws. We began to wonder why so much attention had been given to the defects of our divorce laws and so little to those regulating marriage. Of course, law is only a small part of the problem as compared with public education and early training, yet it shapes our social ideals, in part at least, besides having much to do with the practical adjustments of daily living. To those who champion one wholesale remedy for marital unhappiness, the plans growing out of this committee work - plans for a series of brief studies to be made by the Russell Sage Foundation - will seem futile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When You Marry The authors of this book, who had already served as two of the memo bers of the committee that prepared the outline of the course, were asked to prepare a workbook to be used in conjunction with a textbook as the basis of a prospective course in the United States Armed Forces Institute. Although a course in Marriage and the Family has not yet been included in the program of the Institute, the authors were encour aged, by indications of widespread interest in a course with the same objectives for all young people preparing for marriage, to write the pres ent volume. The authors of When You Marry are unusually well qualified by their training and experience to prepare a volume meeting the present pressing needs and concerns of young people. Evelyn Millis Duvall has a thorough background in biology, and has completed her residence requirements for the doctor's degree in the field of human development, which is an integrated program of study including pertinent courses in anthropology, biology, economics, nutrition, psychiatry, psychology, and sociology. As director for eight years of the Association for Family Living she gained an understanding of the problems of young people of all social classes, and of ways of working with them in the discussion of their questions. Dr. Reuben Hill had his graduate training in so ciology. Organizer and director for four years of the interdepartmental courses in marriage at the University of Wisconsin, with further experi ence in the University of South Dakota, Iowa State College, and nu merous informal collegiate situations, he has intimate knowledge of the problems of college youth and experience and skill in methods of teach ing adapted to their interests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Marriage of First Cousins The question of kinship in marriage, within what degrees it should be permitted, and whether near of kin Should be allowed and even encouraged to marry has attracted attention and provoked discussion from very early times. Reasoned Objection to marriages of near kin on the grounds Of harm to the Offspring, however, seems to be of relatively late growth. Plato, in the Laws, says that the reason why such marriages are forbidden (he is re ferring to the marriage of brother and sister) is simply habit and custom, as were such marriages allowed people would marry those most like themselves, which would prevent the proper mixture of character and property.

Download or read book Getting Married Classic Reprint written by Bernard Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Married N.B. - There is a point of some technical interest to be noted in this play. The customary division into acts and scenes has been disused, and a return made to unity of time and place, as observed in the ancient Greek drama. In the foregoing tragedy, The Doctor's Dilemma, there are five acts; the place is altered five times; and the time is spread over an undetermined period of more than a year. No doubt the strain on the attention of the audience and on the ingenuity of the playwright is much less; but I find in practice that the Greek form is inevitable when drama reaches a certain point in poetic and intellectual evolution. Its adoption was not, on my part, a deliberate display of virtuosity in form, but simply the spontaneous falling of a play of ideas into the form most suitable to it, which turned out to be the classical form. Getting Married, in several acts and scenes, with the time spread over a long period, would be impossible.

Download or read book Marriage a History written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when the clamor over "traditional" marriage couldn’t get any louder, along comes this groundbreaking book to ask, "What tradition?" In Marriage, a History, historian and marriage expert Stephanie Coontz takes readers from the marital intrigues of ancient Babylon to the torments of Victorian lovers to demonstrate how recent the idea of marrying for love is—and how absurd it would have seemed to most of our ancestors. It was when marriage moved into the emotional sphere in the nineteenth century, she argues, that it suffered as an institution just as it began to thrive as a personal relationship. This enlightening and hugely entertaining book brings intelligence, perspective, and wit to today’s marital debate.
